THE devices for raising and lowering the' Cotter Bar, and for throwing
'the Machine in and out of gear are very ing?nions, but Bimple in construction
and operation. So perfect is the action of these devices that the driver oan
run the MeCormiok cloao up to a rook, stump or tree and, without stopping
the team, raise the bar to pass auoh an obstruction, throwing the Machine out
of gear, and then lower the bar afterward, throwing the Machine in gear au
tomatically without loss of any time.
This is only one of the many good devioes of the MeCormiok.
A careful examination of the mechanism of this Machine will certainly
convince you of its superiority in every detail over any other Machine on the
market.

Evading the Pistol Law.
Ingenious merchants throughout the
State have hit npon a clever method of
getting around the pistol law, which
went into effect about a month ago.
It is strictly against the recent Act of
tho Legislature to manufacture or sell
fire arms less than twenty inches long
and weighing less than three ponnds,
but no provision was made for the
renting or leasing of the weappnc.
Several hardware dealers in the upper
part of South Carolina are doing a live
ly business disposing of shooting irons
for a period of ten years, which, of
course, amounts to the same thing ns
selling them outright.
In order to effect a transaction of
this kind legal contracts are drawn up
nnd properly signed, according to the
laws of the State. A pistol worth teu
dollars under the old law will now rent
for ten years for about the same sum.
There is a sort of silent agreement be
tween the dealer and the customer that
the ten-year-itase about settles the
transaction. The trick does not seem
to have been practiced in Charleston
as yet, but it is probable that some
such steps will soon he taken to pull
tho wool over the eyes of the State
lawmakers.?Spartanburg Herald.
In Memorinm.
In loving favor to the desire of Mr.
and 3/rs. Edward King, of fountain
Springs, and Mr. and J/rs. Perry
Browne, of Greenville, their son and
daughter, who request in the Anderson
Intelligencer a few memorial lines on
the death of Mtb. Brown's little son,
Edward, nearly two years old., who on
the 18th of July last was borne in his
little casket from Greenville to Shiloh
Cemetery, near Piedmont, and, bloom
ing in memory among the many flow
ers, was laid to rest in the family
ground of the child's grandparents,

rents and grandparents, grief-stricken,
may be comforted in Him who is the

Newton Reunion.
Mr. Editor : The Newton family re
union was held July 20th in honor of
Mrs. Ruth M. Newton at the old home
stead of the late Larkin Newton, it
being her o?th marriage anniversary,
also the birthday of one daughter, one
niece, one nephew and oue grandson
iii-law.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr. John Mullinii, and opened with
the singing of the old familiar song,
"Home Sweet Home," and a prayer by
Rev. J. E. Heard, of the Pendleton
circuit. A nice programme had been
arranged tor the day to be carried out
by various committees, which wero
immediately appointed.
A letter of welcome was rend by Mrs.
Newton herself. Flowers from Aunt
Polly Hiutou, of Pelzer, wore then
presented to her by Mrs. Cornelia New
ton, of Pickens, with suitable remarks.
A letter from Rev. J. C. Calhoun New
ton, of the Virginia Confereuce, was
then read by his brother, Josephuu.
It began away back yonder with his
enrly recollections and came on up
step by step to young manhood, nam
ing several of the old landmarks that 1
have passed on to the reunion beyond,
whom many of the present generation
have not seen and possibly have heard
so little about till they hardly knew
who they were. May we have many
more reunions throughout the land un
til we find out who we are and whom
our kindred tiro and where they be.
Mr. Newton wa? once the Sunday
School Superintendent nt Sharon, with
many of this community as pupils,
who are to-day the pareutsof the land.
At the close of his letter he asked us
all in remembrance of his Stuidny
j School work to sing the favorite old
song, "Shall we meet beyond the
River," which was sung in a very im
pressive manner and in soft tones.
The committees now began work and
made the next few hours enjoyable to
all present. Some fine watermelons
were cut, only to be eagerly devoured
by large and email. Then a sumptuous
dinner was spread in the shades of the
stately old oaks of many years stand
ing, much to the gratification of all.
When this feast was over lunches were
sent to remembered sick ones that
could not be present.
We all then repaired to the parlor
and were led in many songs by Mr. A.
W. Pickens, with Mr. Mullinix at the
organ. The voices of old and young,
united in songs, makes a melody that
is not to be surpassed by mortal man.
Next was a beautiful Poem, composed
and recited by Mrs. Martha C. Newton,
entitled "Wander Back, Why Not." It
was a very appropriate poem for a
renn ion?forceful, sensible and logical.
Rev. J. E. Beard was then introduced
and made a short address, much to the
delight and benefit of all present. The
benediction was then pronounced by
Bro. Beard, after which lemonade was
served with a refreshing effect. More
songs were wanted and Miss Ruth
Newton, of Pickens, came to the organ
and rendered several nice pieces with
skill and ability. Next was parting
for our homes with the happy thought
of reuniting again next year. May the
reunions go on and on. A Guest.

Some Valuable Suggestions to the
Democracy.
Andereon, 8. C, Aug. 11, 1902.
Dear Intelligencer : I have just gotten
ovr.r the Senatorial meeting at Anderson
last week, and since I oome to think of.lt
quietly and alone, I don't know which
party Is the blggor fool?the people who
attend the meetings or the candidates
who aro forced by tbe primary rules to
stand up like so many school boys ami
make their ilttle set Bpeecbes one day
after another. In the first place, in tbe
time allotted each speaker, U is impossi
ble to discuss Intelligently any one issue
absorbing the public irterest; so that,
conscious of this condition, there is no
effort on the part of any of the candidates
to branch out in to ths discussion of any
weightier subject tban personalties and
billingsgate. Such an arrangement is
fruitful of and Is the delight of the small
politician, as it enables him to ?y in the
face of the crowd In just as gaudy oolors
for a abort length of time as the majeatlo
eaglea in the race. The Idea of six men
each consuming twenty-?ve minutes to
enlighten the people on the great and
momentous '.Issues of the day in nation
al politics is the most ludicrous faroeand
ridiculous place of by-play ever perpe
trated upon an intelligent people. Tf the
dlagusted expressions of hundreds of
people who wltoesHed theBpeotaoular ex
hibitions of tbe six candidates for the
United t-tales Senate at Anderson last
Tuesday are fruitful of anything good,
it will mean either a reform in the mat
ter of campaigning In the primary or the
doom of tb'i primary system Itself.
Tbe intolll?t.u?-e of South Carolinians
will eoou rovolt at this effort to discredit
it in the eyes of the country. They are
tired of being reported to the world as
being madly enthusiastic over one cer
tain candidate whose only olalm to en
thusiastic support rests upon some catchy
anecdote or some ill concealed malicious
aspersion upon bio opponent's record.
Sensible people are tired of being ap
pealed to by demagogues, as if prejudice
and ignorance were the all-controlling
sentiment of their Uvea.
It maker] one dizzy to attempt a com
parison between the old campaigning
when Calhoun was at his zenith and the
present when the small politician is in
his glor*. Can any one, with ever so
fertile (c r more properly) so deranged an
imagination, picture our Calhoun feeing
an Intelligent audience of men and wo
men, accusing his competitor of accept
ing free passes and of being bought by
corporate interests? Of having his family
put on the government pay roll? Of
having a law office in another State, or of
comparing his honored competitor to a -
talking goat which was atung by a bee
in r, "tender spot" as he jumped the fence
and remarked "by damn" ? Can any
one oonoeive of the immortal Calhoun
making use of a shockingly vulgar, wit
less, and pointless joke to oatoh the favor
of the vulgar populace 7. It is devoutly
to be wished that the country will return
to ita former Ideals and relegate to the
shades of oblivion the small politicians
whose only appeal to publia recognition
in based on a low, base and demagogic
plane, fit'.ouly to emanate from a watu
heeler begging votes in the alums.
But how can auch a radical change be
effected? The people do not advocate
the present plan. They are thoroughly
dlsgUBted with it and want a change.
They desire a disoussion of iBSuea, not
men nor of seeds nor of goats. They
want men, not blatherskites, giants not
pigmies, Intellects not mouths, and when
they are given the opportunity to aelect
men by these, standards In a primary
-properly regulated and in whloh each
candidate shall have ample time to ox
p?und the Ibsuss or the day and not be
forced to consume bis allotted time in
answering the vaporings of some blatant
ass, when this time comes (and heaven
speed the day) then we may be repre
sented in our law-making bodies by men
of character and ability by whom WO, bs
a people, will be willing to be judged by
the outside world and of whom we shall
not be ashamed.
If it be argued that it will be impossi
ble to secure a fair attendance of the peo
ple upon the meetings where candidates
for minor offices are to speak, that is, in
itself, an admission that the people do
not want to hear them. Such being the
case, why force thorn to hear what they
don't want to hoar? My observation
teaches me that '.here is always a spirit of
impatience on tne part of the people in
their devout desire for the "little guns"
to get through so they can hear tbe "big
guns." If It be absolutely necessary to
I have campaign meetings for the "little
guns",have them separate and apart, and
if tbe people wpnt to bear them they can
do so, otherwise let them stay at home.
Certain it is that it is not compulsory.
If they want to hear the candidates for
the more important offices and want to
form an honest opinion as to the relative
merits of each candidate, let them have
an opportunity of hearing each one at
length. Tbe small politician can not
stand the calcium light of close scrutiny,
and ju?l as aoon as the light is turned on
and he gives back no evidences of his
worth, he must and will drop back into
that "innocuous desuetude" from which
he sprung.
In County and State campaigns, let the
party change its rules to conform to rea
